Heading into this offseason, many thought Henry Davis was a virtual lock to start at catcher on Opening Day 2024 for the Bucs. Not necessarily because he’s that good, but Pittsburgh’s depth at the position is far from long. Then they signed veteran Yasmani Grandal in the offseason and Mitch Keller’s favorite backstop Jason Delay is back in the fold, and with Derek Shelton proclaiming Grandal a lock for the Opening Day 26-man, questions came up as to whether Davis would even be on the big league roster to start the year.
